«La ciudad sagrada» is the archaeological adventure novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (538 pages, in Spanish).
When Nora Kelly finds a letter her father left before disappearing sixteen years earlier, she organizes an expedition in search of Quivira, the sacred city of the Anasazi Indians that hides treasures. The name also means «city of blood», and the group will discover why in an adventure that mixes archaeology and supernatural elements.
It is the first volume in the Nora Kelly series by Preston and Child. The original work, Thunderhead, was published in 1999, and this Spanish edition appeared in 2000 with a translation by Ana Alcaina.
Suitable for readers of mystery and adventure novels with an archaeological backdrop.
